European Union Officials have warned that significant issues remain in the way of africa to secure an agreement on the u. K. s departure from the bloc irelands Prime Minister barak carr has said he hopes any Sticking Points can be resolved of the course of today that would mean a member that Member States have a chance to consider any deal before a crucial in you summit that starts tomorrow its the last major round table before the u. K. Scheduled departure date on october 31st britains brags that minister Stephen Barclay has told lawmakers that the British Government would abide by a law requiring it to request a delay if no agreement is reached by saturday evening news earlier i asked our Brussels Bureau chief max hoffman about the obstacles that still remain. We have those that say that the road blocks still remain especially the road blocks of course regarding avoiding a hard border between Northern Ireland which is part of the u. K. And the republicans are the richest part of the European Union and a crucial role in that is played by the dea you people r. T. So the Unionist Party up in Northern Ireland that is against the separation or even a virtual separation from mainland u. K. So that those are the Sticking Points in in a nutshell but then there are those that you say the group peered quite confident still this morning that a deal could be reached later on in the day and weve been hearing similar things from the e. U. Embassadors here so its a mixed bag i would say to sum it up probably the thing is sort of in the middle its still tough but they still see the chance of striking that elusive deal max this issue of avoiding a hard border between a Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic has been so contentious so what is the plan that is currently on the table. We cant say whats on the table right now because those negotiations are conducted in private and usually although we have leaks today those negotiators are being very silent and thats also a reason for the confusion because some think they have a leak and others think they have a different leak but they are keeping quiet and thats usually a sign that theyre making progress but id say the last really tough Sticking Point that is remaining that theyre trying to solve at this point is whether the do you mentioned earlier or Northern Ireland as a whole will have a say over what happens to them what they will part of the we will be part of a customs territory with the rest of violence or with the republic of ireland which would require that customs controls would be in the irish sea so between mainland u. K. And the island of ireland this is all extremely complicated please stop me if you have a question on this but really it boils down to can the Northern Ireland people say yes or no to this do you or can they say yes or no periodically there were some proposals on the table for that in the past that were rejected by that the u. P. A. Then we had a message for earlier by an irish correspondent who said this issue was resolved but then again the new piece of the party i was talking about said no thats not true this issue is not resolved so thats where we are at the moment and although theres a lot of information there we cant really make definitive sense of it yet all right max what about german chancellor Angela Merkel she is meeting the french president in my knuckle in france are set to meet shortly gregson of course will be on the agenda with the big summit starting tomorrow what do you think we can expect to see from those 2 leaders. Right and thats an interesting piece of information right there because you could expect the leaders to step in and say stop this nonsense we have the solution for this or even you know them to negotiate a little bit during that summit the the loose ends time up but thats not going to happen this is far too complicated for them even for them even for someone like im going to make of they leave it up to the pros the sherpas the legal experts the negotiators so if there is no deal on the table on thursday theyre not going to make it work and even the thinking right now among some of basters here and other you diplomats say is that even if there is a deal most likely with some points that have not been entirely resolved they wont say yes to that yet at this summit they will say ok this is going into the right direction but we need the legal teams to work out the details this needs to be workable thats what were hearing all the time and if this really happens tomorrow then it spells a special summit at the end of the month so this is going down to the wire and going down to the wire might not mean that will be resolved tomorrow all right our bureau chief there in brussels max elfman speaking with us thank you max.
